Benefits of Buckwheat: 
Contains rutin that strengthens capillary walls, reduces hemorrhaging in people with high blood pressure and increases microcirculation in people with chronic venous insufficiency.
Buckwheat also contains D-chiro-inositol, a component of the secondary messenger pathway for insulin signal transduction found to be deficient in Type II diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome. It is being studied for use in treating Type II diabetes. Research on D-chiro-inositol and PCOS has shown promising results.
A buckwheat protein has been found to bind cholestrol tightly. It is being studied for reducing plasma cholesterol in people.

Free Sample: Stay Healthy! > Xyltitol

Xylitol> is a sweetener used as a naturally occurring sugar substitute. It is found in the fibers of fruits & vegetables, can be extractec from berries, oats & mushrooms. Xylitol is almost as sweet as sucrose with only 2/3 food energy. AKA it is just like sugar but 1/3 less bad as sugar!

Free: Thimble to Save H20


Time to save the Earth and utility bill too!
You may request for more if you require more, indicate in form. (Requested for 2 kits, shared it with my folks & parents-in-law too)
Each kit consists of 4 thimbles for taps and 2 thimbles for showerhead*


It decreased the water pressure quite a bit so in the end removed the ones in the shower as Madam Cheapo enjoys water jet hitting on the skin hard. Feels cleaner that way. 

Kept the ones in the sink there as often we tend to open the sink tap too much and waste water. Noticed a 3-7% decrease in Utility bill. 
Delivered in: 2-3 weeks


Worth-it-Meter: 4.0/5.0 (comes to quite a bit in the long run)

Just for Mums!

Madam Cheapo has no babies (yet) but has friends with lotsa babies.. Every meet up is filled with the joyful voices of their kids with an occasional scream & cry (It wasn't me, I kept a safe distance!!!).

Very so often the topic of how expensive milk powder, diapers, kids products were. It was a lot of $ and often, they were in a situation where products they bought was not suited for their kids resulting in waste of $.

Madam Cheapo then had an idea! I will post a "Just for Mum" series!!! I will set off to seek out all available samples available in the entire Singapore!!!
I will not rest till all has been found!

For all the SG Mums out there, I will succeed in my mission!

From the last request for samples from Abott, the nice people at Abott mailed Madam Cheapo $2.50 off 400g & $3.50 off 900g vouchers.

Madam Cheapo used the $2.50 at Guardian for 400g tin and paid $15.45.

If you have diabetics in the family, this is useful as there is a Glucerna SR that is a very good supplement for breakfast. Since a 400g tin sells for $18.64, so 1 sachet costs about $1.20.


After receiving the samples, there is some "after-sales" call by their friendly staff. They would even mail discount vouchers from time to time when they know you are a long time consumer. So don't just hang their friendly calls. 
*Very Nice* Madam Cheapo likes!!!

Free Sample: Cure Exfoliant


Touted as Japan's Best selling Exfoliator! 
Very easy to sign up (15 seconds), 1 set of 2 sachets per signup. 2 satchets of samples came in an envelope, in approximately 2 weeks. 1 sachet is rather sufficient for 1 use all over the face. 
Really liked this product as when you use, lots of "dead skin" comes off, and i mean lots especially the first time. Just that it is a little pricey at stores. 

Not sure if they track repeats... as Madam Cheapo was not cheapo enough to try. *surprise surprise* 
Madam Cheapo did request it for everyone in the family and all the samples came. 
Even my husband who uses this found that his acne skin improved. 


Stay Pretty people!

Limit: 1 per email (unlimited per address)
